Lake Tahoe

One of our most memorable Boots and Luna trips - Lake Tahoe.

Although Luna had fun, it was a day for Boots - probably the best she ever had living with us. That old girl played fetch until we forced her to stop, and even then she just didn't want to quit!

Paris Ice Caves

A little over three years ago we made a couple hours journey into Idaho and the Paris Ice Caves. It was our second trip as a family, but the first ones with the pups.

Unfortunately, there wasn't much ice left in the cavern, but it was still
worth the trip. And both Luna and Boots had a blast.

Since I have been publishing Muttish Memories to coincide with
Throwback Thursday I thought we'd go WAY back this week.

On a side note all of these pictures were uploaded with Google's Photo Scanner app.
I had tried it once before and was never happy with the quality. However, with a new phone that has a much better camera I'm pretty happy with the way these turned out.

Boots was my dad's dog, so I don't have a ton of pictures of her
when she was a pup, but these two are both keepers!

She loved meeting new people. On the left you can see her
'greeting' at Dad's shop by putting her paws up on the counter.

This last picture was taken at the Moon Caves in Cathedral Gorge State Park in Nevada. She loved to go, go, go and was always ready for adventure.

Water Park - Dog Style

These were taken within the first week or two of
Luna coming to live with us. Maybe even that first weekend.

Back when Boots was old, but still spry.
She had just as much fun as the dog a fraction of her age.

Sure miss that old girl.

Fort Pearce

I've been nostalgic lately, missing the old "pack". Miley, Sprite, and Ari were always up for some hiking back in the day!

Fort Pearce was one of our favorite places to go. We went so often I don't think these were even taken on the same day.

Located about 12 miles outside of St. George, Utah. Lots of petroglyphs and the remains of a small fort in the area.

Winter Return to Bridal Veil Falls

2/18/2016

We first visited Bridal Veil Falls in July of 2014, when Luna was still fairly new to our family.

I always wanted to go back for a winter visit and finally got our chance this past Sunday.

The falls weren't nearly as frozen as we had hoped they would be, but the view was still amazing.

Ella looked extra fluffy that day, and the wet snow really brought out the red in her coat.

Charlie had a blast, he was ready to go, go, go as soon as we hit the trail.

Luna on the other hand was ready to head back pretty early on, she clearly preferred the summer visit.

Dirty Sprite

This series of photos (2006) may be my favorites that were ever taken of my
American Eskimo, Sprite, even though I was so angry at him at the time.

You see, Sprite had just gotten back from the groomer. (Please don't be angry that I shaved
that poor Eskie's coat, no one told me that you shouldn't until long after this time.)
Unfortunately, he took it upon himself to go outside and roll in the red dirt that was our back yard.

Instead of staying angry I went off to find the camera - who could stay mad at this face??

Luna and Ella's Snow Day

1/21/2016

Last March we had an unusual spring snow. This was shortly after Ella
came into our home and she and Luna had a blast in the icy cold.

Ella wasn't quite sure what to think of the snow when we first went out back.

Then Luna tackled her...

and full craziness broke out.

Mill Creek Canyon

Since Fall is upon us once again I thought I'd share some photos from a short day trip we took last year, also in early October. Mill Creek Canyon is located in the Wasatch Mountains and has several picnicking areas and hiking trails.

Hands down, this is my favorite picture of Luna I have ever taken. I love the look in
her eyes and the contrast of the leaves behind her black and white coat.

Luna with a leave stuck on her 'Loony Lips'.

It was harder than expected to get Boots to sit still for this shot, she kept wanting to wander back to my husband's side.

Baker Reservoir

Unlike our main blog and Life with Luna, Muttly Memories will primarily be a photoblog; highlighting anything from recent photo shoots to those from the past.

I thought I would start with a long ago fishing trip (2006 to be exact) at Baker, a small Reservoir in southern Utah. These remain some of my favorite photos of Miley, Sprite, and Ari.

Sprite (American Eskimo) on the shoreline.

Everyone in the canoe we were taking out for the first time. Sprite and Ari (Jack Russell)
loved it, Miley (terrier mix) wasn't so sure, but was happy to just be with mom.

I love Miley's yawn! As a bonus Sprite gives her the look of having extra ears.
The second picture was the best one ever taken of the three of them together.

Although it's the header for our homepage, I couldn't help but share this photo again since it
was taken the same day. This captured everything about Sprite and his spunky personality.
